The health secretary says the extra cash will help ease the strain on wards, A&E departments and ambulances
The £200m is in addition to a £500m Adult Social Care Discharge Fund previously announced and will pay for stays of up to four weeks until the end of March.Advertisement
In a statement, Mr Barclay said the NHS was"under enormous pressure" due to COVID, flu, the pandemic backlog, Strep A and upcoming strikes - and that he was now taking"urgent action" with the extra cash. He said his party would"tackle the root cause of the crisis" as well as recruiting and retaining more carers in a"first step towards a National Care Service".
But the health secretary has doubled down on insisting pay review bodies are the best way for public sector salaries to be decided.
